Miko Kunoichi

Disclaimer: I do not own InuYasha or Naruto Shippuden

Authors Note: This starts at the beginning of Naruto Shippuden, since I don't want to write the long story of what happened in Naruto before Shippuden, you can imagine Kagome's part in Naruto however you want, but I'll be starting in Naruto Shippuden. I might make a prequel to this, I'm not sure as of now. Anyways, Kagome is co-sensei and co-leader for Team 7 with Kakashi, she isn't 15 but actually 26 to go with the story line. Also the events in InuYasha did not happen. Kagome was born in Konohagakure, into the Higurashi family which is made up of her mother, brother and her grandfather. She did not travel back and time and is not the Shikon no Miko. However, the Higurashi family is a family of holy people, so she does have her Miko abilities, making her chakra stronger than normal. Also Kagome is married to Kakashi, she's been married to him from the beginning.

Chapter 1: Homecoming and Team Kakashi

Kagome sighs as she walks around the village of Konohagakure. She's looking for her student Sakura Haruno. She was told by the Hokage, Tsunade, to go with Sakura to get the Pedestrian Report from the main gate. Sadly her former student had already left before she could go with her. She scans the crowd for Sakura's signature pink hair, and blinks surprised when she sees Sakura hit a taller Naruto, and the three Genin cower by Jiraiya from the hit.

"Ne, Sakura-chan, don't you think you hit Naruto-kun hard enough?" Kagome questions as she stops Sakura's tirade of shaking Naruto to death. Her two former students both look at her as she stops next to Jiraiya and the Genin. Sakura lets go of her teammate and blushes embarrassed that her sensei saw her. Naruto on the other hand runs over to Kagome and smiles brightly, "Hi, Kagome-nee!"

Kagome shakes her head amused, "I'm glad to see you haven't changed at all Naruto-kun." she comments as she ruffles his spiky blonde hair, surprised to see him taller than her, she pouts internally at that, wondering why all male Shinobi are taller than her. Naruto beams at his older sister figure happy that she hasn't changed at all. Kagome's wearing her signature black high heel calf-high boots black shorts, with her black skirt with slits up the sides for easy movement, wearing her black tank-top and her green Jōnin vest open like always with her Hitai-ate around her neck, her black fingerless gloves and also her trusty katana at her left side. Kagome looks at Jiraiya and narrows her eyes at him, making the Gama Sennin (Toad Sage) freeze, before looking at her students, "We should probably go see Tsunade-sama, she'll want to see you two since you have returned from your training." Kagome then moves her silver-blue eyes to the three genin. "You three, why don't you go find Ebisu-san, and see if he has any training or missions for you three." she tells the genin, she turns to Naruto and Jiraiya, when the genin leave. "Lets go you two, we have to go see Tsunade-sama."

As the shinobi make their way to the Hokage, Kagome looks at Jiraiya with narrowed eyes, "You didn't corrupt Naruto-kun by making him spy on women saying it was apart of 'Training' did you?" Jiraiya laughs nervously and feels a drop of sweat run down the side of his face "No…?" he answers her. Kagome glares at him before walking faster so she's walking in between Sakura and Naruto. Jiraiya rubs the back of his neck, relieved that Kagome isn't glaring at him, "I wonder how Kakashi deals with that."

Kagome smiles as she listens to Sakura and Naruto talk, catching up with one another since they haven't seen each other in two years. Kagome knocks on the door, once they reach Tsunade's office. They hear a 'Come in.' from inside, Kagome opens the door and walks in "Tsunade-sama, guess who's back~!" Tsunade smiles at Kagome, pleased that the blonde loudmouth returned, as the miko-kunoichi steps aside to let her see Jiraiya and Naruto. "Your training proved to be fruitful I hope." Tsunade comments as she sits in her chair behind her desk. Jiraiya smirks at his former teammate "You think we would have come back without producing any results?" He asks with an amused voice.

"Mission accomplished Grandma!" Kagome smacks Naruto on the back of the head, "Naruto-kun!" she chided her student as he looks up at her with tears in his eyes. Tsunade shakes her head before looking at Naruto, "I'm glad to hear it. Show me what you got kid." Naruto looks at the Godaime confused, "What right now?" Tsunade shakes her head, "I have two people I would like for you go up against. I've kept them off missions the last few days so they'd be ready just this moment. Your opponents will be-" the Hokage gets cut off from a knock at the door. Tsunade leans back in her chair, "Come in!" she calls out.

The door opens, and everyone turns to see Temari and Shikamaru appear in the doorway. "Hey." Shikamaru greets as he enters the office with Temari. Sakura smiles at the sight of her two friends, "Hey Shikamaru, Temari! Look what the cat dragged in." she points at her still surprised teammate." The two Shinobi blink at the sight of Naruto, "Is that? It is! Naruto it's you!" Shikamaru exclaims. "Hey Shikamaru!" grins the Jinchūriki. Temari just stares at Naruto, wondering if that's really the same boy from before.

"Well, Well your back eh?" Shikamaru asks, Naruto folds his arms behind his head as he stands in front of his friend "Yeah. Just got back today."

"Look at you! Who'd ever believe your the same idiotic...well what I mean to say is, you've changed haven't you?" Naruto just grins and chuckles.

"He hasn't changed at all." Sakura deadpans, "I didn't think so." Shikamaru agrees, not believing that Naruto could change "Give me a break Sakura." Naruto pouts. At that Tsunade and Shizune laugh at their antics.

"Wait, does this mean you're my opponent Shikamaru?" Naruto questions. Shikamaru looks confused "Opponent? What are you talking about? I just came over to drop off some paperwork."

"Oh, Well if it's not you then is it...uh...what's your name again?" Naruto asks Temari sheepishly. Temari glares at the teenager "You don't remember me?"

"Naruto, one of your opponents is here." Tsunade points out as she nods her to Kagome, who is casually leaning against her desk "Your other one is out there." She motions with her hand to the window. Naruto walks to the window and leans out of the window to see outside, he looks to left to see, Kakashi Hatake casually sitting on the roof outside. "So, Naruto." Kakashi drawled out, as he looked away from his book "You went and got all grown up." The Copy Cat Ninja lifts a hand up in a lazy greeting. Naruto brightens at the sight of him "Kakashi-sensei!" Naruto greets "You and Kagome-nee haven't changed a bit Sensei." Naruto jumps out of the room and onto the roof where Kakashi is, Kagome follows him out leaning against the window frame outside. "Oh wait a sec." Naruto reaches behind him, and reaches inside his traveling pack, "Hang on. I got somethin' for ya, Sensei... a little present." He pulls out a book, that Kagome immediately glares at Jiraiya, said man flinches a little at her glare. "Jiraiya, why does Naruto-kun have that book?" she asks with a dangerous tone to her voice. Jiraiya waves her off and shrugs nervously.

"No way?!" Kakashi exclaims catching Kagome's attention making her sigh, knowing that she will never get Kakashi to stop reading now. "Is that, Is that really?"

"The first new issue of Make-Out series in three years." Naruto tells his teacher, Kakashi eagerly takes the book, not yet noticing the glare from his wife "It's pretty boring if you ask me, but I know you like this stuff so…"

"Kakashi Hatake. If you open that book, I swear you'll be in a world of pain." Kagome warns darkly, suddenly standing right beside him glaring down at the two, making the two shinobi shiver in fear. Kakashi sighs and stands up disappointed that he can't read his new book with Kagome around him, Naruto blinks confused at his Senseis "Hm? So I guess you two are my opponents?"

"Well, you're half right." Kakashi tells him, the lazy shinobi walks to the window and looks at Sakura "Hmm. Been a long time, hasn't it, Sakura?" he questions as Kagome stands next to him. "Yes it has Sensei." Sakura agrees as her teammate jumps back into the office. "So as to our opponents will be…" Kakashi starts as he jumps onto the windowsill in a crouching position, "It's Naruto and Sakura, the two of you." Kakashi finishes as he glances at each of his students, shocking them.

"Both of us at once Sensei?" Naruto questions, wondering why. "That's right. Kagome and Kakashi will put you two to the test." Tsunade comments as she sits back down in her chair "How well you do against them will determine your future status."

"Ha, their future status." Shikamaru comments.

"Sakura, it's time to show that your training with me wasn't a waste of time." Tsunade tells her student, Sakura turns to her mentor "Right."

"So?" Kagome asks "Shall we get started then?" Naruto turns to look at his older sister figure, "But…"

"Okay, you're right, you just got back Naruto, you must be tired. We'll give a chance to rest first." Kakashi interrupts Naruto, which riled the Jinchūriki "I'm not tired, I'm ready to go right now!"

"No, you take it easy. We'll meet you later at the training grounds. So long." With that Kakashi disappears in cloud of smoke. Shizune turns to her mentor, "That's odd isn't it he seemed in a hurry."

"Yeah, and I have a pretty good idea why." The Hokage sighs. "He probably couldn't wait to read that book." Everyone in room agrees with Shikamaru's statement, making Kagome growl in the back of her throat and jump out of the window she was standing next to, tracking her husband's aura. "I guess Kakashi-sensei isn't going to be reading that book now that Kagome-sensei is after him." Sakura comments making everyone laugh, except Jiraiya who pouts knowing that Kagome is going to most likely burn his book.

When Kagome catches her husband, she sees him leaning against a fence on a rooftop not faraway from Hokage's office, reading his new book. Kagome shakes her head and drops down in front of him. "Must you read that garbage Kakashi?" She sighs when he only gives her his eye smile. When she hears Jiraiya from behind her, she turns to look at him "What do you think? Not bad huh? If you ask me, it's the best one I've ever written. Heh heh!" Kagome shakes her head at the two "Why do I even bother?"

Kakashi closes his book, and follows Jiraiya as he walks off the roof and onto the street below, Kagome following behind him. Kagome folds her hands behind her head as she walks in between the two. "I'm delivering Naruto into your hands, as promised." Jiraiya tells the two Jōnin as they walk in the streets of Konohagakure. Kagome smiles slightly, "I can see Naruto-kun has grown. But has he matured?" Jiraiya glares at the Jōnin ranked kunoichi "Huh! You implying I haven't done my job? Ah, go ahead, underestimate him. You'll be sorry." The Gama Sennin warns. Kakashi, who went back to reading his book, glances at Jiraiya "Well, that sounds encouraging." Jiraiya's face grows serious and his eyes narrow "The ones we've been watching are about to make their move." Kagome eyes widen slightly at this news.

"So why do you think they're finally showing their hand? What are they after?" Kakashi asks Jiraiya as they sit at a table in a restaurant. Kagome, who's currently eating a bowl of Oden, happily, next to him but listening to them nonetheless. "Their ultimate objective is still unclear. But I know one thing...They want the Fox Spirit that Naruto carries within himself." Kagome puts her chopsticks down at that, her face growing serious as Jiraiya continues to inform the two "As to why, well, you can be sure they have some evil purpose in That's why I've been going around, spreading the word to all our allies. Something's coming, so they'd better boost their security and keep on their toes." Jiraiya takes a bite out of his food when he finishes.

Kagome runs a hand down her face at the news, and looks at Kakashi, "We need to make sure Sakura-chan and Naruto-kun are ready for whatever happens." Making the two Shinobi nod. Kagome stands and puts a few coins on the table for her bowl of Oden, she stretches and looks down at Kakashi.

"Well…" Kagome drawls out as she puts her hands on her hips "We need to go meet Sakura-chan and Naruto-kun for their test, and I don't want to be anymore late than we already are." Kakashi sighs and puts his new book away, he nods to Jiraiya as Kagome pull him out of the restaurant by his arm. Jiraiya chuckles "Ah. Young love…" he chuckles to himself but then grins when he sees a group of women pass by him.

At the training ground, Naruto and Sakura are both startled when both Kagome and Kakashi appear on top of the fence in a cloud of smoke that Sakura was leaning against. Kakashi in his usual crouch, and Kagome standing on the fence smiling down at them. Kakashi raises a hand in a lazy greeting "Sorry to keep you waiting. We uh, ran into this poor old lady who needed help carrying some-"

"Would you two give us a break?!" Sakura and Naruto both scream in unison, making Kagome chuckle. Kagome hops off the fence and into the training ground followed by Kakashi and their students, Naruto looks around and smiles when they stop at the three familiar wooden posts, "Oh, wow. Does this bring back memories…"

"Your assignment is very simple. You just have to take these these bells from Kagome while I protect her. That's all there is to it." Kakashi tells the genin in front of him, holding out the two bells in front of him. "If you can't get 'em by noon, you go without lunch." Kagome finishes smirking at their disbelieving looks.

"Whaa?!"

"If you don't get them, you'll be tied to those posts, and you'll watch while we eat our lunch in front of you."

Kakashi looks up from his reading at their looks "Oh, that's right. This was the site of your very first training lesson, wasn't it?" Sakura nods her head sadly, "It was Squad Seven…"

"The three of us, together." Naruto finishes Sakura's sentence. Kagome looks at the ground and sighs sadly "That's right. We had Sasuke-kun with us then." Sakura blinks back tears as she remembers catching Sasuke as he was leaving to go to Orochimaru. Naruto glares at the ground as he remembers his fight with Sasuke before he left. Kagome clenches her fists as she remembers Sasuke smiling as a child as he said goodbye to her at the Academy unaware that night Itachi would slaughter the whole Uchiha clan besides him that night. Kakashi blinks when he sees he wife and students on the ground repeating Sasuke's name with an aura of depression over them, "I guess Sasuke's name is taboo to these guys…"

The sound of bells ringing gets the attention of the three, Kagome blinks then smirks as Kakashi hands her the bells when she stood "Alright, show us how far you've come. After all, you haven't given up on your Sasuke, have you?" Kakashi questions as his students stood up.

"Not a chance."

"What the hell do ya think I put myself through all this training for?"

Kakashi gives them his eye smile as Kagome ties the bells to hilt of her katana, just like the first time. "The rules are the same as they were that first day...I don't care how you do it, just get these bells away from Kagome."

"And remember…" Kagome starts to say but gets cut off by a grinning Naruto.

"If we're not prepared to kill ya…"

"We won't get the bells. We know." finishes a smirking Sakura.

"You can use any weapons including shuriken. If you're not prepared to destroy me, you won't be able to take the bells." Kakashi's voice echoes through Sakura's and Naruto's minds.

"Heh, no mercy if you ever hope to get these bells. You've got till sunrise tomorrow."

"Well then, Shall we get started?" Kagome questions, as she puts her hair into a ponytail, to keep her long shoulder length hair out of her face. Kakashi closes his book, and Naruto smirks as he tightens his Hitai-ate "Are you gonna be reading that stupid book the whole time, Kakashi-Sensei?"

"No he won't. I bet he already finished reading it. And I know Kagome-sensei would kill him if he did." adds Sakura as she finishes putting on her gloves, making Kagome smirk. Kakashi put his book away in his back pouch "Not quite. But I'm going to save that little pleasure for later. Besides, I've got a feeling I'd better keep on my toes." Kakashi raises a hand to lift his tilted Hitai-ate up to show his Sharingan "It's a whole new ball game. This time...it's serious."

~Time Skip~

Kagome sighs as Naruto and Sakura grab the bells from her. She glares daggers at Kakashi who has his ears covered and his eyes closed. "Kakashi...you idiot." Kakashi looks over at her sheepishly as Naruto grins at them. "A ninja must see through deception." Naruto says. "Isn't that right, Kakashi-sensei?" Sakura asks amused.

"I deserved that…"

"Yeah, you did, and now I'm going to use your books as target practice when we get home." Kagome growls at him. Kagome, Naruto and Sakura laugh at Kakashi's face,and Kakashi eventually joins in the laughter. After they stopped laughing, Kakashi takes out his book and looks at it. "I'd never dreamed I would go down because of this." Kagome shakes her head at him "I should have just gone ahead and finished it." Naruto laughs at that.

"What are you even wasting your time with that for? It's the most boring book ever." Kakashi looks up at that "Yeah, the Pervy Sage loaned it to me. But it was such a snooze fest, I didn't make it past page ten. So ya know, I couldn't have spoiled it for ya." Kakashi's visible eye widens as he points at Naruto, he sighs and slumps his shoulders.

"Even though Naruto didn't know the ending, we figured just the mentions of Make-Out tactics would be enough to freeze you in your tracks. Pretty great strategy huh?" Sakura smiles at her sensei. Kakashi nods his head pitifully, making Kagome roll her eyes at him "You big baby."

"You two have certainly demonstrated some growth." Tsunade's voice comes from behind Sakura and Naruto making them turn to look at her as she walks towards them with Shizune "Kagome, Kakashi is there anything you two would like to say?"

"Well, they did a good job getting the bells so?"

"They did good Tsunade-sama, I'm proud of them." Kagome tells the Hokage with a smile, making Naruto and Sakura look at the two of them confused. "Why? What are you guys talking about?" Naruto asks.

"Well, we've been discussing what your status will be in the future, Naruto."

"What are status will be?" Naruto mutters.

"Naruto Uzumaki! Speak up." Tsunade chides the teen.

"Yes Ma'am."

"Sakura Haruno." Tsunade then looks at Sakura, getting the kunoichi's attention.

"Milady."

"You two are a team again, along with your old senseis from this day on you'll be Team Kakashi." Tsunade informs the shinobi in front of her. Kagome pouts that Kakashi's name is used and not hers, much to her said husband's amusement.

"Team Kakashi?"

"That sounds pretty cool!" exclaims Naruto "So what are we doing? What's the scoop?"

"Naruto-kun." Kagome calls, getting Naruto's attention "It means we will be going on all of our missions together. We are no longer Sensei and Student. We are Leaf Shinobi on equal ground. Get it?"

"Yeah! I got it, hundred and ten percent."

Kagome wraps an arm around Naruto's and Sakura's shoulders as they walk through the streets of Konohagakure. "I'm so proud of you Naruto-kun and Sakura-chan! You two have gotten a lot stronger." Kakashi, who's walking behind the trio and reading his book, much to Kagome's displeasure also comments "I agree, I never thought you two would get the bells."

"Well what can I say? Maybe I've surpassed you Kakashi-sensei."

"Yeah, like that would ever happen."

"Well, I'm not over the hill quite yet." Kakashi chuckles "In fact just the other day I worked out this unbelievable new Jitsu. Let me tell you, you've got to see it-" Naruto's stomach interrupts Kakashi, making Kagome laugh.

"Oh man. I forgot. I haven't had a bowl of ramen from Ichiraku's since I got back."

"Now that you mention it, I'm starving after last nights challenge actually…"

"Say no more!" Naruto exclaims, raising a hand in the air "Next stop Ichiraku Ramen." Kagome chuckles as she watches the two young ninja run off. "Those two, they've always had so much energy." Kagome blinks when Jiraiya comes to stand next to her and Kakashi. "He's all yours again. I leave him in your capable hands as agreed." Naruto and Sakura turn around chanting 'Kakashi-sensei!', Kagome chuckles quietly knowing that they want Kakashi to pay for the ramen.

"We need to be prepared, the Akatsuki are on the move again. I'm going to head out and see what I can find." Kakashi and Kagome nod at that. With that Jiraiya disappears in a cloud of smoke.

"Kakashi-sensei!"

"Kagome-nee!" Said two look at Naruto and Sakura.

"We've decided that you two are going to treat us to ramen!"

"C'mon, we're starving!"

Kagome looks at Kakashi "I'll make you Miso soup with eggplant for dinner if you get us out of here." Kakashi smirks from underneath his mask at her attempt to bribe him. He wraps his arm around Kagome's waist and makes the two disappear in a cloud of smoke leaving an angry Sakura and a confused Naruto behind.
